difference between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles under the control of the somatic nervous system. The other types of muscle are cardiac muscle which is also striated, and smooth muscle which is non-striated; both of these types of muscle are involuntary under the control of the autonomic nervous system.

A skeletal muscle contains multiple fascicles (bundles) of muscle fibers.
